The hotel room was clean and updated, and I'm a stickler for cleanliness. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgraded room and will definitely book here again! The cafe downstairs had excellent food, good fresh quality and accommodating for food allergies including gluten-free. Beautiful rooftop views and restaurant. Great for both family or business trips. Overall a wonderful experience and look forward to booking there again!

Our one-bedroom apartment was immaculately cleaned, the bed and furniture was comfortable, the linens were fresh and cozy. It was a quiet and peaceful stay in a nice neighborhood. We greatly enjoyed our dinner at Vintage Green, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant which has an incredible view of the Empire State Building. All staff members of the hotel and restaurant were very friendly and polite. I’d definitely stay and dine here again!
